A lighthouse keeper has been secretly feeding a humanoid, sea creature. However, the meat supply runs out and the monster starts decapitating locals and draining them of their blood.
This is a very routine sci-fi/horror movie, typical of this period. The monster is played by a man in a 7 foot rubber suit, and looks very similar to the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Some of the acting is very wooden, in particular the guy who plays the storekeeper. We do get to see a few decapitated heads, so some gore (it is in b&w). But what really lets the film down is its slow pace. Had it been shorter, less talky, them I am sure that it would have made better viewing.
